Good timing on this post, Neil. I'm in the process of wiring a 135W solar
panel, controller, isolator, fridge, new light, amp, sub, etc......now I'm
on my way to the garage to do the pull test. What have  you done!? Although
my process is a little different.
I'm configuring my Syncro AW to utilize three different interior layouts.
One empty, with just the bed and nothing on the floor, another with a tie
down floor that I can securely tether things like chuck-box, supplies,
tables, etc, for beach camping (leaves the interior of van empty,) and the
third is a permanent style (Westfalia, yet to be purchased/found,) that
would be installed when/if the van goes up for sale. I've done it this way
for years, but with three vans, each accomplishing one of the three
versions. Now it's time to consolidate and achieve a more true (to me)
version of the 'Swiss knives of vans,' as so many like to call them.
